Most people are in disbelief over the surging gas prices. They expect it to go down. They trust the people in charge know what they’re doing and that it’ll be fixed. It’s complacency.

Complacency is a killer. There is no Deus Ex Machina. We don’t live in a Marvel movie.

There are two possibilities: 1) the people in charge are inept and they’ll make things worse. Or 2) the people in charge do know what they’re doing and it’s all going according to plan. They’re making things worse, on purpose, to usher in a great reset.

Either way, you lose.

Let’s be real. The people in charge could’ve done absolutely nothing with the pandemic and it would’ve simply resolved itself. And it has, in so many places that didn’t have the means to do anything.

All they did was make things worse by to fix things without knowing how.

The same goes for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Arming Ukraine with more guns, more bombs, everything besides humanitarian aid and offering refugees a new home to live in is only prolonging the inevitable, and it’s getting people killed. Doing nothing is sometimes the best option.

Hubris drives people to act. But people act on impulse. They don’t think of what happens after step one.

You wouldn’t open up your car if it broke down and you didn’t know how to fix it. You’d call a mechanic. Here, they’re just taking advice from the crowd chanting suggestions.

The guy shouting the loudest is the guy saying “beat the engine with a brick.” So that’s the solution they run with. It’s loud, it’s popular, and it gets the most likes on Twitter. It’s policy by popular consensus. It’s democracy in action. Total disaster.

Gas and food rationing is on the way. Stock up before that happens.
